Pacers... Players in FA?

Watching the NBA channel and in a team like Toronto, who is potentially losing Chris Bosh with nothing in return (and is also looking to trade Hedo), the commentators pointed out that the only way Toronto gets players back from a team like Miami or Chicago, who has very little on their rolls currently, is to get a third team like the Pacers involved...

Toronto
May be interested in Foster and Dunleavy, if they can move Hedo's contract, to address their needs for a big man who can defend and rebound and compliment Bargnani, softer, longer version of Troy, and in Mike, a facilitator... Toronto gets two quality veterans to help the rebuilding process and cushion the loss of Bosh...

Mike: $9.7 (expiring)
Foster: $6.0 (expiring)

Any other examples you guys can come up with?

We give up 2 expirers and get who in return? Hedo? No thanks, he has one of the worst contract in the NBA right now...I watched him play almost every game last year, and it was really bad. He couldnt play one game because he was hung over. He looks like hes gained some weight also.

Bosh? Sure, I'd do it, who as a Pacers fan wouldnt. But would Bosh agree to a sign and trade to come to Indy? Most likely not

A more likely scenario would be us trading murphy and whoever to toronto. Bosh signing with another team like the Nets. With the Nets sending us Devin and a 2nd rounder. This doesn't work with many teams since the teams Bosh wants to be on either have no one to offer us (miami) or dont want to trade any of their talent away (bulls). The lakers might be the only option for a 3 team deal with us in the mix. I don't like odom but, raptors send bosh to LA. we send murphy an someone to toronto and we get Odom and farmar who wants to start. Farmar has a year left of his contract 2.8 mil. So it would be a year try out for him. That still gives us plenty of cap room to make more moves next year. This move would have to be a last ditch effort tho. I am not for bringing in odom and farmar unless its all the pacers can do. I'm not as worried as everyone else is about gettin a long term guard. Next year doesn't look promising either so we can be patient.

Re: Pacers... Players in FA?

I like Jarrett Jack, but he's little more than serviceable. He's a good player, just not good enough to go out of your way to reacquire.

4.5 million contract for three years. Hopefully in three years he would be our backup but i would be happy with him starting this year and he wouldn't prohibit us from getting someone else for the long term.

Create an ignore list. I know it may seem unneighborly. But you're here to talk about the Pacers, not argue with someone who's just looking for an argument. Most of the regular users on here make use (at least occasionally) of the "Ignore" feature. Just go to "Settings" -> "Edit Ignore List" and add the names.

Re: Pacers... Players in FA?

Does Murphy have any? Which teams have a Center that would be a good match for him? Orlando? Would Toronto want Rashard Lewis?

-Foster: missed 2/3 of season w/ back surgery, getting older
-Dunleavy: comming off serious knee surgery had one of worst yrs. as a pro.
-Murphy: Coming off 2nd season as one of the top double-double guys in the league.

Am I missing something?

Re: Pacers... Players in FA?

understand your point but Foster doesn't need the ball and Dun is a facilitator... Murph fits well with certain FC situations (athletic post presence with good defense) but is a defensive liability.

With knees it takes 2 years, and Dun is in his 2nd yr and Foster pretty much had last year off, so I'm thinking he should have a decent year health wise... Both guys I could see as stronger contributors for a team making a playoff push... (Murph doesn't have any PO experience.)

Re: Pacers... Players in FA?

Honestly, I don't believe the Pacers are not going to make any moves until the Lebron/Wade/Bosh sweepstakes is over. At that point, other teams will be trying to get players to "fill in the holes". I'm pretty much under the impression that Bosh will be a package deal with either Wade or Lebron.

I don't get it...what is the trade that you are thinking of, exactly? You are wanting to trade Dun and Foster for Hedo?
